    Yeah, I've got it. The box powers up and has a huge old style 5 and 1/4" hard drive in there (that spins up). However no video comes out. I think the unit has to be connected via SCSI to an apple running dev software and it's used to emulate real CDI hardware dumping the program to the hard drive (which would then simulate a 660mb CD.

    The manuals are interesting and go into some API stuff and how to utilise controls and move stuff around the screen and all that...

    At the moment, it's a paperweight.

    I will probably end up sticking it on ebay at some point.
